Used Mack Trucks
by Staff Writer
The corporate history of Mack trucks goes back to 1890 when John M. Mack took a job at the carriage and wagon firm of Fallesen and Berry in Brooklyn, NY. John and his brother Augustus would soon purchase the factory. At a time when Orville and Wilbur Wright were flying their first flight at Kitty Hawk and Ford would introduce the Model T, the Mack brothers were coming up with innovative designs for the most durable and powerful heavy-duty trucks and engines in the world.
The Mack brothers’ first successful vehicle was a 40 horsepower, 20 passenger bus. It was built for sightseeing in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. The bus would eventually travel over a million miles, and this was in 1900!
In 1905, the Mack Brothers Motor Car Company was incorporated in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. Four years later, Mack introduced the left-hand steer and chain drive Junior model, a light-weight 1.5 ton truck. This model would undergo numerous improvements over the next couple of years. Soon, Mack would distribute over 4,000 AC model trucks to the US government to assist in World War I.
